fishboi

do they measure in UK gallon or US gallon. just want to find out in Litres thanks

so mondo grass sold in LFS are the same as the ones in garden centres??? i thought they were different. paid $2 a bounch for my :roll:

loved the part when he talks about the rocks and how the small fish can hide and by small he means under 12" :lol: has anyone skim though the whole thing?? i just got half way just want to know if there were any more pics

how long are u goin for X mas? if its over a week then u need to look at someone coming in to feed if its under then holiday block should do the trick. also depends on how long the tank has been set up for and amount of fish.

OMG

they look cool will drop in this weekend to have a look. thanks hollywood 3 kings right?

yep i am sure they would and shouldn't cost more than a new fish . i see where ur coming from but a new "better looking" one is not going to be the same. they all have their personalty especially big fish. just dont want u to do anything u will regret. its a pet after all u wouldn't do it to ur cat or dog right? [assuming u have one or the other]

i am not sure i am with u on this A.PROPHECY, getting a new one to replace the old one just because he developed a growth seem pretty mean. why not talk to ur local vet and see what can be done if its just a growth i am sure it can be surgically removed.

no they all have whiskers the only way i am pretty sure is the body shape. female fat and rounder, male slimmer.

if it was a bit more focused i would pic without flash. just looks a bit more natural to me both good pics though

they got some in hollywood 3 kings. they also have a few ghost knifes and a African Black Knife which is really brown when u compare to the ghost knife but u dont normally see them around the LFS. not sure on price but u can always call up and ask which saves u a trip.

most brand canister filter comes with spray bars so why would u need to make one?

unbelievable i thought it was taking the mickey at the start before i went to this page http://www.fish-school.com/gallery.htm

as in suppose to cooked? i pretty sure everyone does

great job luke looks fantastic. love the Glosso [could never get my to do that :oops: ]

yep its call "tubercles" and only really starts to show on males [all types] around 2 of age which is prime for breeding while they are in breeding mode which is just above 20 degree really. since its ur first time breeding goldfish i would suggest just let them do it normally. select a nice size female and 2 to 3 male for breeding keep the males and the female separate for conditioning. keep the males on a normal diet and put the female on a high protein diet like meal worm, brine shrimp....... and just as the female is about to burst put some spawning mop in with the female and introduce the males. now do a cold water change and see the males chase after the female and do prepare yourself as they're pretty ruff and u may need to remove the female to make them stop. as soon as u think u have enough eggs take all the parents out and drop the water level down to around 12cm and wait 4 to 5 days before hatching. be prepare to do some kulling as a medium size female can easily drop over 1000 eggs and a lot of them will be nymphs. i am no expert but i do breed all sort of gold fish when they are in season.

WOW nice job with the photo i cant even focus enough to take pictures of my baby kribs. :oops:

no i dont sell them just have a few, it did sound a bit like an advert :lol: and no u dont need to line them they hold water by them self PM for detail.

i use the wine barrels and they're great u can get different size wine barrels that range from 100Litre to 200Litre and they do plastic ones which goes all the way up to 1000Litres which is great for storing rainwater. 100Litre half wine barrels are $55 each and $5 each for delivery anywhere in Auckland. OM for detail.

i've heard ppl pronounced it chi-child

i have a couple of wine barrows just over 100L and i have no pump at all just a large plant in each and the water is crystal clear one has a lily and the other has a Hippuris Vulgaris which is better for spawning if thats what u want to do. if u want to spawn WCMM then the snails are a bad idea as they will eat all the eggs before they get the chance to hatch. WCMM will be fine though winter they can handle very cold climates. they're from White Cloud Mountain in China after all.

i am sure some of u guys has already come across this site but i just did and cant believe the price on these. some of them we would be paying close to 10 time the amount that's if we can get them. i guess that's what we get for been at the bottom of the world :roll: http://www.somethingsphishy.com/index.p ... fff2272051

maybe u can convince ur hubby to write the process on how its done or an article for Caryl

before i put anything in the tank for the first time i soak it in masterpet sterilizer overnight but boiling it would be just as good depending on the size i guess

u made sound so easy wish i have that sort of carpentry skills
